Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorneys

If you have been injured due to medical malpractice, you need trial lawyers who have dedicated their careers to representing victims of negligent medical care. At HM&M we have a long history of getting extraordinary results for our clients.

Hospitals, doctors and other health care providers have a duty to use reasonable care in providing medical services. When they don’t it is legal negligence, also known as medical malpractice, and innocent patients can suffer, both economically and emotionally.

Bringing a lawsuit against a doctor or a hospital does not mean you are against the medical profession, it means that you need help with the economic and personal losses created by their negligence. The law entitles you to fair compensation when your life has been changed by negligent medical care.
